Special voting

What a special vote is

A special vote is a voting document without your personalised details. These are completed when you fill in the form. You might need to cast a special vote because:

• Your voting papers were not delivered by Monday 22 September 2025.
• Your voting papers were destroyed or lost.
• A mistake was made on the voting papers and cannot be easily corrected.
• You enrolled after Friday 1 August 2025.

Our election staff can issue you a special vote to complete. To receive the special voting documents:

• Visit us at Council’s Administration Building, 16 Cobham Court, Porirua City Centre
• Email us at [email protected]
• Call us on 04 237 5089

We will be hosting pop-up special voting events between Tuesday 9 September – Saturday 11 October 2025. Keep an eye on our events page for updates!
